Why "Masker"?

In college, I was a member of a sorority that was known as Maskers. There were 11 of us girls, all juniors, and 11 seniors. I was the 1997-1998 Masker #7. It was a highlight of my college years and I have used it for computer user ids since then. In the 10 years that have followed, however, I am learning the value of taking off the fake "Mask" and being true and authentic with myself and others. THAT is the purpose of my blog.

Messy House, Happy Heart?

Hi Friends-
My house is a wreck. I have been out shopping and preparing for Christmas but now my home is in chaos! I have to find the motivation to clean and organize....but it's hard to do with a 15 month old who is getting into everything. Right now, she's going through bills. Hopefully, they're already paid because I think I hear paper tearing. Ugh! Oh, good...she just transitioned to pushing around the laundry basket...the dogs are scattering to get out of her way!

You may have noticed that I said, "dogs"-that's right, we're a two dog family this week. My parents are out of town so their dog Bumbi has joined us. I'm not tutoring until Friday (when they return and can watch Cassie for me)-only three more sessions before my student moves to New Jersey. I'm going to miss tutoring...it's been such a welcome change from the day to day baby-care!

Well, clearly this is not a good time to update my blog. Cassie is adding to the destruction of our home, so I need to close this and stop her little rampage! Hope all is well with all of you! :)
